Bombers select elite ball user with second pick in Telstra AFL Draft.
Essendon has taken Jacob Farrow with pick No.10 in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
WA’s finest product in this year’s pool, Farrow is a dynamic defender renowned for his rebound and raking left leg.
The 187cm half back has a glowing footy IQ and reads opposition forwards as well as any, capable of locking down direct opponents with his one-on-one strengths and just as damaging with ball in hand.
He avoids pressure well with his agility and can win plenty of footy more broadly – he averaged 19 touches per game for WA in the Championships and held his own at senior level in three games with West Perth in the WAFL.
Recruiters are quick to compare him to flashy elite-level runners such as Hayden Young and Jordan Dawson with his slick distribution by foot.
